Home Schooling

On March 6th, California banned Home Schooling. Usually I wouldn't have a post asking for you to sign a petition. But as a home school parent, obviously I strongly believe in our constitutional right to home school. I love having my kiddos here with me and at this point in Braeton's life we believe it is the best place for him . He's a great student and completing all his curriculum. I just can't imagine having that taken away from us based on one family as the courts have done to the families in CA. If you would please take the time to read this short post and consider signing the petition. Thanks Friends!

Dr. Dobson Outraged by California Ruling Banning Home Schooling
by Jennifer Mesko, managing editor
Focus chairman calls it an 'all-out assault on the family.' A state appeals court has decided California parents without teaching credentials do not have a right to home-school their children. The 2nd District Court of Appeals ruling could affect up to 200,000 home-schooled students in the state. “The court is guilty of an imperious assault on the rights of parents,” said Dr. James Dobson, founder and chairman of Focus on the Family.
“How dare these judges have the audacity to label tens of thousands of parents criminals — the equivalent to drug dealers or pickpockets — because they want to raise and educate their children according to their deeply held values? "The case before them involved one couple — the ruling should have been confined to that one couple, not used to punish an entire class of people, the vast majority of them religious conservatives.”

Please pray for the home schooling families in California.
~Also, if you are interested or believe in the right to Home School please take the time and take action by signing this petition.
Thanks!
